Talk, Don't Walk
Student Services run a campaign over the first six weeks to encourage students to communicate with the careers team, if they feel they are on the wrong programme.
Instead of deciding to withdraw, we want you to communicate and not just leave the course. We inform students of our 'Talk, Don't Walk' campaign during their induction activities and provide support to help those you feel like they are struggling.

Returning Students (Refreshers Week)
These events are for our returning students and run similar to Induction, and usually delivered on Week 2 of the academic calendar.
Refreshers is primarily directed at the following returning groups due to current low retention. The plan is to run specific team building activities to improve in year retention.
Part-Time and Induction week will run from Week 3 in the academic calendar.
